@sam_amick: After Westbrook recovered from meniscus tear in playoffs,recent swelling sparked the surgery. Docs found a loose stitch that caused swelling

A loose stitch? Remind me to avoid that doctor. He's going to miss 4-6 weeks of the regular season? Considering that's a total of 8-10 weeks (with training camp and preseason), that must be one loose stitch.

It may not be that big of a deal. I'll reserve judgment until I see whether or not his knee becomes troublesome long-term.

Like in Seinfeld. What did they leave inside that guy when the doctor sewed him up. Was it a pez dispenser or candy or something?

They will make the playoffs even without him, and if he can play during the playoffs they'll get just as far.

Westbrook relied totally on his quickness and change if direction. This will effect/affect him I promise you. He will not come back the same.

I agree with this statement. This injury can cause 2 things.

1.) Fear within himself that he will get this injury again and play more timid.

2.) His knee doesn't have the explosiveness that was such an advantage against his opponents.

1 of them is bad enough and there is a possibility that both can happen.

If even with that knee I still feel like Thunder has been extremely lucky when it comes injuries

I think it will unfortunately make the Thunder a stronger team. Durant and the Thunder looked a little lost and were having problems getting easy baskets after Westbrook went down. Durant will learn, the team will learn how to get good looks with him not on the floor. Even if he isn't as mobile when he comes back the team will still be better than if he had never left.

@BlazerFreeman: #Blazers just opened practice to media and, for the second season in a row, owner Paul Allen is on hand to watch first workout.

These guys won't last the season!

@LakersReporter: Gasol and Nash didn’t practice this morning, because they’ll practice tonight. Goal is not to have them do two sessions in one day.

@KevinDing: Thing about Russell Westbrook's knee: Thunder tried to repair, not remove, damaged cartilage. Complications with that route are very common.

Saw quotes they are going to rest Nash a lot and probably not have him play any back to backs. Taking a page out of the Spurs book.

Thats exactly what I heard about Chase Budinger miniscus repair setback.

It sounded like a good idea at the time, not going the Brandon Roy route and all.

Pez dispenser was a different (much earlier) episode. Jerry puts it on Elaine's knee so she cracks up laughing and throws off George's then-girlfriend, whose recital they're attending. (Apparently Pez were pretty much going out of business at the time and that episode really boosted their sales.)

Then there's the episode where everyone starts eating a candy bar with a knife and fork...

Trying to find the link, but I guess Kevin Love and Rubio looked outstanding today!

Yeah they're only keeping him to clear cap space. Lakers are trash this year.
